I have a litle e30, M40 B18
With all the proprer maintenace done allong the years and a bunch of quilometers 453.000km by now.
It was my first e30 and i never thought it still be in my hands the way it is.
Due to other issues i lost the garage to it 3 years ago.
None the less is always covered.
Even in all weather condition is a very tuff car. I have to take my hat off.
The modifications are very simple.
Stainless steel exhaust. The only part missing is a stainless exhaust manifold to be 100% complete.
k&N box filter
Little work on the replaced cylinder head. The original one had cracked 300km before it completed 450.000km to my sadness.
Added along the years:
Sachs chock absover
Lowered in the front by 40mm
325i tour complete suspension swaped
New bushings all arround.
Four line brake kit
Brakes fully restored.
Mtechnhic seat´s fully recovered
Power steering added and fully recovered too
Mtech 2 steering whell miss the 370mm tech 1
Added the power windows
A few years ago i give a look to the entire body to see what it need to be done to it.
New paint job.
Theres a lot but i can´t remember every little detail.
So i´ve started a little place of mine on the web to share and help other´s to be inspired.
It´s my daily driver, gives me lot of fun on the road too. It can´t rain all the time lol
And the high mileage, well...it´s because i think the e30 today show´s what it still is made off in the midle of all this brand new bmw´s passing by.
I think this brand new bmw´s should be thankfull to have the e30 as a big grandfather.
The work on the car as always been done by me.
When i had my drivers license i found him with the colour i love the most if i could afford it new.
Glad it can´t speak
:D
It´s a very special car to me with a very special place by my side.
Enought talking and some of my amator pic´s

Like it with the MiM's 8)
How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.
